Filipino Cuban American artist She-Rōze offers up a candid and heartfelt tribute to deliver a message of strength, hope, and resilience to survivors of depression, sexual assault, abuse, suicide, and oppression with “Stand By Me,” the hallmark track off her debut album, We Rise. “When you’ve had your own experiences with these issues and also have several people close to you who have, every time a news story pops up related to these topics is really triggering,” she says. “Each time, you have to work through your healing all over again. It’s like an open wound you have to tend to all the time. I wrote this song for all the women who are fighting this same battle every day. So they know they’re not alone. We got to be strong for each other and know we can get through it one day at a time.”

The album is co-produced by her husband and award-winning Indigenous Hip Hop artist, Artson, along with their long-time collaborators, Bboy Wicket and Huca Bera. The music video is produced and directors by Odin Rock of Odin’s Eye Creations. Proceeds go to the Shero Collective, a women-led nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting cultural advocacy, economic empowerment and creating partnerships that help to uplift the Hip Hop & BIPOC community.
